The Giants and the Dodgers have already dried up more bad blood than the Red Sox and the Yankees will ever spill.

COMMENTS: How does it feel, Dodger fans? The Dodgers haven't had a losing season against San Francicso since 2005, when they went 9-10. Now the 4-5 Dodgers are looking up at the 7-2 Giants, who have arguably the National League's best pitching staff.

The Dodger bats have been afire, but their pitching staff has more holes in it than a sieve dipped in acid. After dropping a series to the Pirates and eking a series win against the Diamondbacks, the Dodgers run into a potential buzzsaw in the Giants — especially with Tim Lincecum starting tomorrow.

On a happier note, both teams will wear #42 again tonight in continued observance of Jackie Robinson Day. Ah, Jackie. We'll always have Jackie.

As a former Guns 'n Roses man in my misspent youth, it always galls me when I see Slash or one of the others all cleaned up and acting patriotic and shit. I want Slash to be throwing JD bottles onto the field and peeing behind the portable concession stand, not playing the national anthem.

Haha, I think I remember hearing Maury Wills in an interview say that he still hates all the giants to this day and that if he saw Willie Mays car broken down on the side of the road he would keep driving.

I don't think the team is going to get rid of Monasterios until it is scientific fact that he cannot provide anything to the bullpen. One way to find out for sure is to FUCKING USE HIM ONCE IN A WHILE.
